The beer, which begins distribution in Kansas City on Tuesday, gets its rosy hue from dried hibiscus flowers added during the brewing process. The recipe —which also incorporates sea salt and coriander — is modeled after a style that originated in Goslar, Germany, in the late 1800s.

Hibiscus Gose (“Gose” is pronounced Gose-uh) is the second in Boulevard’s experimental Backroads Beers series. It follows Entwined Ale, a beer brewed with grape juice.

At 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, Hibiscus Gose is pretty light, so it’s a good match for hot August weather.

Craving heavier fall beers already? Next week Boulevard releases Bob’s ’47 Oktoberfest, a fall seasonal with medium body and toasted malt flavor. Both Bob’s ’47 and Hibiscus Gose should be available through October.
